WEBVTT LATEST ON THIS WET WEATHER PATTERN COMING UP IN A FEW MINUTES. THAT WE JOG YOUR MEMORY ILLITERATE. POTHOLES THIS SPRING. CHANCES ARE YOU HAVE DRIVEN OVER ONE, HOPEFULLY NOT DAMAGING YOUR VEHICLE. LOWELL MELSER JOINS US LIVE WITH MORE ON A BIG PROBLEM FOR THE ROADWAYS THESE DAYS. IT CERTAINLY IS. DECIDES THAT -- BESIDES THAT, I CAN'T THINK I THE LAST TIME I DID A SHOUT WITH A SUIT JACKET ON. IT WAS PROBABLY SEPTEMBER. STATE HIGHWAY CREWS WERE OUT IN FULL FORCE, TRYING TO PATCH ALL THOSE BUMPS. UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE A LOT OUT THERE. IS PRETTY SAFE TO SAY WE HAD A MISERABLE WINTER. AFTER A NUMBER OF SNOWSTORMS, SEVERE COLD TEMPERATURES FOLLOWED BY WARMER TEMPERATURES AND A COUPLE OF THOUGHT-OUTS, THE ROWS ARE NOT IN GOOD SHAPE. WINTER HAS TAKEN ITS TOLL ON THE PAVEMENT. WE ARE SEEING POTHOLES ON THE ROADS. OFFICIALS SAY NOW THEY'RE PLOWING CREWS ARE DONE, THEY WERE REPAIRING POTHOLES ON STATE INTERSTATES. THIS CREW WAS REPAIRING A STRING OF BUMPY PAYMENT. THEY REALIZE ANOTHER COLD WEATHER EVENT GOOD MESS THINGS UP ONCE AGAIN. IN SOME CASES IT MAY BE A PERMANENT FIX AND IT WILL WORK. IF WE GET WEATHER BETWEEN NOW AND OUR TRUE SPRING, WHETHER COULD CAUSE THE POTHOLE TO REAPPEAR. OUT IN AREAS ALL OVER BALTIMORE CITY, THEIR SNOWPLOW CREWS WERE ALSO BUSY REPAIRING POTHOLES AFTER MISSING SIX REPAIR DAYS LAST WEEK FOR SNOW AND ICE. SAME CREWS THAT YOU POTHOLE REPAIR DO SNOW REMOVAL. IT HINDERED OUR PROGRESS. GOOD WEATHER ANY NICE FORECAST. CITY TRANSPORTATION OFFICIALS SAY THEY REPAIRED ABOUT 22,000 POTHOLES, WHICH IS NOT ANYWHERE NEAR WHAT THEY DID LAST YEAR. LAST YEAR WE WERE AT 50,000 POTHOLES, SO WE ARE RUNNING HALF OF THAT. WE ARE DOING PRETTY GOOD. IF YOU SEE A POTHOLE ON THE STATE HIGHWAY, YOU CAN REPORT IT BY GOING TO THE STATE HIGHWAY WEBSITE. THERE IS A LINK ON WBALTV.COM.
